Loop question

[-.Paradox.-]

Is it possible to loop the players with the same specified element data?

If possible please a little help how would be appreciated.

Oh well.

  
function getPlayersByElementData(theData) 
local tableResult = {} 
for i, v in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
if getElementData(v, theData) then 
table.insert(tableResult, v) 
end 
end 
return tableResult 
end 
  

Now just use my function like this:

  
for i, v in ipairs(getPlayersByElementData("swag")) do 
outputChatBox(getPlayerName(v).." has the specified element data set!", root, 0, 255, 0) 
end

Bad argument #1 to 'insert' (table expected got nil)

Anyway thanks i fixed it

By the way, Here is the correction for your code i guess

local tableResult = {}
